“Gayle Gaskill offers appropriate tribute to G.L. Kittredge by updating his classic tradition with a mastery, thoroughness, and verve worthy of the original. This excellent edition is marked by impeccable scholarship that everywhere displays careful attention to detail and keen sensitivity to the needs of modern readers.” —John W. Mahon, Co-Editor, The Shakespearean Newsletter and Professor of English, Iona CollegeGeorge Lyman Kittredge’s insightful editions of Shakespeare have endured in part because of this eclecticism, his diversity of interests, and his wide-ranging accomplishments—all of which are reflected in the valuable notes in each volume. The plays in the New Kittredge Shakespeare series retain the original Kittredge notes and introductions, changed or augmented only when some modernization seems necessary. These new editions also include introductory essays by contemporary editors, notes on the plays as they have been performed on stage and film, and additional student materials.These plays are being made available by Focus Publishing with the permission of the Kittredge heirs.Gayle Gaskill is professor of English at St. Catherine University in St. Paul, Minnesota. She has contributed articles to Who Hears in Shakespeare?: Auditory Worlds on Stage and Screen (Fairleigh Dickinson 2012), The Merchant of Venice: Critical Essays (Routledge 2002), The Shakespeare Newsletter, and the Greenwood Companion to Shakespeare. Her reviews have appeared in Renaissance Quarterly and Cahiers Élisabéthains.

5.0 Twelfth Night
FYI, I only read the play which is why my version had 189 pages. I pretty much always ignore the afterwords or commentary on Shakespeare. That's done, now let's get into it.This so far next to Macbeth, Othello and Romeo and Juliet, is one of my favorite plays. It is definitely my favorite of the com...

5.0
A young person’s introduction to a Shakespearean comedy induces a common knee-jerk evaluation: the elaborate skein of misguided affections hurled to vertiginous heights leaves one with an impression of some contrived pretense of life. As modicums of experience come to such a young person, they find ...

4.0 Twelfth Night (Barnes & Noble Shakespeare)
I thought this was a great edition. They have the text on the right side, and the explanation of obscure terms on the left side. I just saw this play done at the Great River Shakespeare Festival in Winona, MN. It's amazing how closely they followed the text. I didn't need to read it to understand ev...

4.0 The Oxford Shakespeare: Twelfth Night, or What You Will (Oxford World's Classics)
Audio books work well for Shakespeare plays; though not as well as seeing them would. Lots of confusion over identity, cross dressing, practical jokes and love confusion. The standard ridiculously complex witty exchanges where meanings change and either it's v dirty or someone ends up arguing the op...
